Texas Reds Festival Coming This Weekend With New Changes

BRYAN, Texas The annual celebration of Steaks and Grapes is just two days away in Downtown Bryan.

News 3 looked into some of the changes for the Texas Reds Steak and Grape Festival and how organizers are hoping to make more money.

It's become Bryan's Signature event.

The Texas Reds Steak and Grape Festival.

"How are y'all? How many in your party today ma'am,?" asked Michael Perez, who co-owns Papa Perez Mexican Restaurant.

Perez is ready for record turnout at his place this weekend.

"\We're going to have patio seating outside. We'll have it all roped off in front of the restaurant and we'll have patio tables out there, canopies, he said.

Other new changes include moving the main stage further north up Main Street. It will be the only fenced off area instead of the whole event. You'll have to pay $5 to get into the main stage area Saturday night with Steve Wariner headlining.

Even though there won't be a $5 fee to get into Downtown Bryan all day Saturday, festival organizers are hopeful their income won't drop.
